Academic Honesty Links and Resources

From the Chapin Student Handbook:

There are many forms of academic dishonesty. Plagiarism and other forms of academic cheating will not be tolerated at Chapin High School. We are here to reinforce ethics and integrity as part of student development. Work found to be plagiarized will result in a grade of a zero. In addition to the academic consequences, academic dishonesty can also jeopardize a students’ standing in the Pre-Engineering Magnet Program, National Honor Society, or any other club or organization. Students are expected to submit their own, original work, cited properly. It is never appropriate to submit others’ work as your own. For more information on the definition of plagiarism and academic dishonesty, please speak with any administrator.
